I Fell In Love With A Ghost
"This realm is your only chance of coming back to life in the mortal world, and if you attract those consequences, take note that you will die.”
“Death?” I ask, mostly to myself. And to the voice, “What do you mean by 'I’m on my way to death'?”

Nova was having a bad day, and all she wanted was for the day to end already. But the universe seemed to have misunderstood her wish, because not only did her day not end, but she met with an accident that left her in a coma.
As if that wasn't bad enough, she became trapped in a dimension between life and death, where she had to face a series of trials that would determine if she wakes... or fades from existence.
Enter Zephyr, the spirit assigned to guide her to the light – her recovery.
The spirit who never tried to disguise his want for her failure.
The spirit she should've never fallen in love with.
But in a world where survival is determined by the number of challenges a soul can conquer, the heart still found its way around love.
With her complicated feelings in an already complicated world, Nova must decide what she's truly fighting for – her life, or the one being who's capable of ending it.
***
In a short time, the remaining one hundred and twelve souls are pushed out. When we’re complete and standing, a voice – different from on the bus – greets us.
“Welcome, Souls, to the survival games.”

Chapter: 004: The Illusion Realm CHAPTER FOUR“No,” I whisper, feeling my blood draining from my veins as dread rises in me. “No.”I never knew how much I never wanted to die until this moment. I’m not ready for my life to end just yet. I was just two months away from graduating. Two months away from my dream career. I can’t let it all go to waste.So, I resort to the next best thing, begging. “Give me a second chance. I promise I won’t fail again, please.”My plea goes to deaf ears as thunder and lightning begin erupting from the clouds, and they draw closer to me. My heart beats fast. I stagger back, shaking my head frantically. “No!” The word is a hoarse, desperate cry. “Please, no! I don’t want to die.”The clouds draw even nearer, stopping only when they’re right in front of me. I try moving backward again, looking for an escape, only to realize there’s nowhere left to go. The clouds grow thicker – heavier – and then they begin rumbling. Helpless and hopeless, I stare wide-eyed, awaiting my inevitable death.

Chapter: 003: The Survival Games My stomach gives a sickening lurch.Survival games? Hearing it being called that makes it sound worse than before. “I’m as scared as you look,” a female voice says, as the owner appears beside me. Unlike with my grumpy spirit guide, I’m not startled. In fact, I’m comforted by the knowledge that someone here shares my fear. I turn to see a tall, beautiful lady smiling at me. She stretches out a hand. “Hi, I’m soul 91. Or you can call me Liz,” she says. And then with a chuckle, she adds, “Please call me Liz.”I guess I’m not the only one who dislikes being called a number, then. I raise an eyebrow as I shake her hand. Or attempt to. My hand slides right through hers. “Oops,” she laughs, retracting her hand. “I forgot that we still have to learn to master our states. Sorry about that.”My brows pull together. “Our what?”“Our states?...” she frowns. “Didn’t your spirit guide tell you about it?”The look on my face must tell her all she needs to know, because her expression becomes

Chapter: 002: Transitional Dimension TwoThe whole bus erupts in a round of applause. I look around. “What's going on?”“You will be assigned a spirit guide shortly,” the voice continues, paying no attention to my confusion. “But for now, sit.”As soon as he says the word, I find myself already seated in the first seat on the bus. “Now that we have had the final addition to this dimension, we will begin the journey. I implore all you souls to remain seated throughout. If you have any questions, discuss with your guides. Again, remain seated. You cannot die any longer since you are all already on your way to death in the spirit world, but do take note that there are consequences if this ride is troublesome. This realm is your only chance of coming back to life in the mortal world, and if you attract those consequences, you will die.”“Death?” I ask, mostly to myself. And to the voice, “What do you mean by 'I’m on my way to death'?”“I advise you to save the questions for your spirit guide, Soul 113. They will be with yo

Chapter: 001: DeathOne "I can't do this anymore, Nova. I'm breaking up with you."I exit the messaging app, delete it from my activity log, then reopen it to read again. The same words reflect on my screen. That's it. That's the whole message. He's going to break up with me through text. Three years with him, and all I get is a text with fewer than twenty words. I wish we didn't have to break up, but I'd already accepted the fact long ago. What I will not accept, though, is this flimsy excuse for a message. I deserve more than a less than twenty-word text for putting up with him so long. So, I do what I think anyone with any degree of self-worth would do. I call him. He picks up the third time I call. "You really tried to break up with me through a message?" A car horn sounds somewhere around me, but I pay no attention. I hear him sigh. "I was gonna meet up with you, but I thought, what's the point?"I scoff. "Really, Chris? What's the point?""Listen, I'm sorry, okay? I should've done better.
